It's not a technically brilliant photograph (I took it!), but it's of historic interest. Maybe keep on file for a last resort if nothing else. On 14 June 2008, a special steam-hauled service was run to mark the opening of the railway from Melbourne to Albury, NSW exactly 125 years earlier, and the imminent closure of the original broad gauge track for conversion to standard gauge. The Albury line features approximately 300 km of parallel broad gauge and standard gauge track, the longest example of parallel tracks of different gauges in the world.
